Are there any firm rules of thumb for how much abuse a laptop with a 
running hard disk can take?  I know they can be used in airplanes, for instance,
but what about in a moving car or rougher vehicle (fire truck, for instance).
Do any manufacturers publish information of this kind?

Thanks in advance.
